Fort Dobbs was an 18th-century fort in the Yadkin–Pee Dee River Basin region of the Province of North Carolina, near what is now Statesville in Iredell County. Used for frontier defense during and after the French and Indian War, the fort was built to protect the American settlers of the western portion of what was then Rowan County, and served as a vital outpost for soldiers, traders, and colonial officials. Fort Dobbs' primary structure was a blockhouse with log walls, surrounded by a shallow ditch, and by 1761, a palisade. It was intended to provide protection from French-allied Native Americans such as the Shawnee and Delaware, and French raids into North Carolina.

  • Fort Dobbs était un fort du XVIIIe siècle proche du fleuve Pee Dee dans la province de Caroline du Nord, près de ce qui est maintenant Statesville dans le comté d'Iredell, en Caroline du Nord, aux États-Unis. Utilisé pour la défense des frontières pendant et après la guerre de la Conquête, le fort a été construit pour protéger les colons britanniques de la partie ouest de ce qui était alors le comté de Rowan et a servi comme un avant-poste important pour les soldats, les commerçants et les fonctionnaires coloniaux. La structure du Fort Dobbs était un baraquement avec des murs en bois, entouré d'une palissade et des douves. Il était destiné à fournir une protection contre les raids des Cherokees, Catawba, Shawnees, Lenapes et Français en Caroline du Nord. (fr)
